Depo-Provera injection
A few positives for me personally - I gained a healthy amount of weight and I don't have to remember to take a pill everyday. No more mood swings or random intense feeling of sadness Negatives - terrible cystic acne in which I now have to see a dermatologist, vaginal dryness and I'm rarely interested in sex. Irregular bleeding whenever I am stressed.
